That is a stretch of epic proportions.

Rob McCartney’s comments on a podcast don’t excuse a complete lack of effort.

Geez, Ward and Mackenzie look like vanilla first round picks. Absolutely zero impact on games.

Mass, Ginni, Moore outstanding. Sicily, Newcombe, Lewis been listening to their own hype. Dreadful.

Can anyone remember the last time we drafted a small forward in the first round and he debuted in Round 1? How did his career turn out? No pressure of course…

Just a not so subtle reminder that our track watchers wear the most rose coloured glasses known to man.

Haha, of course you did 😉

Don’t you dare defend him. It is completely understandable if he wants to be completely self absorbed and not consider the interests of those that have looked after him since he entered the AFL ranks. Remember, he has a young family to consider.

So let me get this straight: I shouldn’t get my hopes up that we might draft Calsher Dear with a late pick in a shallow draft. But it is reasonable to think we might land Bailey Smith this year (even though he has emphatically stated he is going nowhere) while holding on to pick 3. And then...

They didn’t. This is just manager spin for “Essendon offered more cash but I can’t say that.”

I’d take a prelim and a GF over ANZAC Day and Dream Time…

There is zero chance of this happening this year and you know it. Why sell false hope?

The tweet pinned at the top of this thread looks sillier by the day.

Zero substance. Might change come free agency but we are not willing to pay (trade wise) what he will cost.

Save your thumbs, Naughton to Hawthorn is not happening this year.

Concerning to think that more than a quarter of our list have regressed as footballers this year. Morrison Impey Sicily Frost CJ Moore Scrimshaw Bramble Wingard Breust Kosi Blanck Jeka

Not sure what’s worse, our football or the umpiring. Neither deserving anywhere near the salary they are receiving.

We are creating a culture where we are not loyal to our players. Can’t be surprised if in years to come players show us the same lack of loyalty when bigger offers come in.

Billy Hartung played 7 games in 2014 for us… Geelong gave him away for very little. We are pushovers at the trade table (both when we are trading in and out) and this Mitchell trade is a great example of that.

Looking forward to us trading the homesick Stephens and Worpel to Geelong in a couple of years for picks 58 and 65.

Classic Tom. Saying a lot without saying anything.

Nah, we’re better off pinning our hopes on a beanpole ruckman who has kicked five goals at VFL level.

Thanks for your well thought out opinion. You have contributed greatly to this discussion.

Maybe. But he has zero football IQ. He is a big body that shields our kids from the rough stuff. We need that right now but he is a short term option. If we track like we hope we are, we will move past his limited ability in the next year or so.

Newcombe ridiculously good. Only champs bounce back like he did today. Teams have figured out though to let Nash have the ball. His lack of footy IQ is a killer.

It doesn’t. But the rule is for making forceful contact below the knees so given: A. Butler ran into Moore (thus Butler made the contact not the other way round) and B. Butler had already gone to ground (making it hard for Moore to make contact below the knees as Butler’s lower legs are...

Geelong Falcons players drafted away from Geelong that were later traded back to Geelong: Shaun Higgins Lachie Henderson Patrick Dangerfield Jack Steven Gary Rohan Luke Dalhaus Geelong Falcons players drafted away from Geelong that have not been traded back to Geelong (this is not every name...

Close the thread. You won’t see a better post than this one.

I watched the game and thought he was a liability. Stats just added to that. If Worpel turned out Nash’s game you’d all be calling for him to be dropped.

Yep, don’t know how we’ll cope without his 3 tackles and 10 disposals at 60%.
